Further to Reddyoff family & emigration, some time ago I looked up the Ellis Island foundation, which is free & was easily able to find a Reddyoff family member on their manifestos. She was SARAH eLLEN reddyoff of dukinfield (stalybridge)Departure port, Liverpool, arrival in New York 7th Sept 1912. Aged 20 on arrival, single, & with 20 dollars.The ships name was CELTIC. Her fathers name was WilliamYou can purchase a certificate commemorating this passenger, but you also see the actual manifest with her details. It shows her sister paid for her passage. She was going to her sister, Mrs Beeley, 13 Ardenose St., Rochester New York. I dont know if we were related, but for anyone wanting to find relatives go to this website.

Hi there I think I may have a 'loose' connection to the Redeyoff family. My paternal grandfather, whom i never actually met, was Henry Tennant and his 2nd marriage was I believe to an Annie Haslam (nee Redeyoff) in the early 1950s.
Henry was I believe originally from Yorkshire, but lived and died in Stalybridge/Ashton most of his life.
There are some fascinating connections in this area. I noticed mention of Cranworth Street earlier, I lived there from 1980-1987 when I left the area for University!
Regards Jason

Hi I've just found these posts and may be able to add to the already published info. My family name is spelled as Redeyoff and I was born in Stalybridge in 1941. I've managed to trace the family back to William and Elizabeth (Betty) both born in 1786. they had 4 children James, Elizabeth, John ( known also as Sam) and Sarah. William was born in Slaithwaite and Elizabeth in Haslingden. James and John moved to Stalybridge. James married Alice Nield at Saddleworth Church in in 1840 and john married Sarah Beswick in Manchester Cathedral! in 1844. I've got most of the details regarding children births and deaths up to the present day but it is too detailed to put into this message. If anyone is interested I will be pleased to give the info direct. Regards Phil

Hi I am looking for an Eleanor reddeyoff (born 1898) whose father was Tom Reddeoff (born c1873 in England and died in South Africa). His parents were William and Mary Anne. We are trying to find out if Eleanor was born in UK. When Tom died it stated his wife was Ellen Krakow? Does anyone have any information of Tom and his descendants Thanks Carol

Hi Carol I did a bit of collaborative research around one branch of the Reddyehoff/ Catterall ancestors several years ago. You’ll find the previous correspondence on the forum board and, if you haven’t already done so, it would be worth contacting the members concerned who should, by now, have collected far more information than I found. Since I don’t know what you already know and it’s all new to me, I’ll provide most of the fresh information I’ve found. Tom’s birth was registered as plain ‘Tom Reddeyoff’ at Dukinfield, Cheshire (now part of Tameside MBC) in 1872 and he was christened there on 16th February 1873. The birth registration record reveals that his mother’s maiden name was ‘Wilde’ which makes his likely parents William Reddeyoff and Mary Ann Wilde. This couple married in 1871 at the parish church of St Michael, Ashton under Lyne. The marriage record indicates that Mary Ann’s father was ‘Thomas Wilde’; William gave his father as ‘John Reddeyoff’. William Reddeyoff was buried at Dukinfield on 29th July 1901, and Mary Ann {Wilde] on 1st July 1912, also at Dukinfield. Tom had several siblings – Harry (1878, possible Boer War army service in South Africa); Alice (1881-1916); Ada (1883); Gordon (31 Oct 1885, married Clara Lamb at Oldham on 28 Aug 1916); Annie (1889 and entered Boston, Mass., USA on 24 June 1914 on board SS Cymric. In 1917 she married another UK migrant, Albert Chadwick at Lawrence, Mass.); Sarah Ellen (16th July 1892 also migrated to USA where on 6th August 1913 she married Arthur Hadfield at Methuen, Massachusetts). www.cheshirebmd.org.uk lists most of the relevant BMD material but because the surname spelling variations play havoc with the search engine, I had to use the ‘soundex’ option on the ‘match’ menu rather than the default ‘exact’. In the 1891 census, Tom (now Reddyoff) is listed as a serving soldier based at the Infantry Barracks at Waterloo, Mossley Road, Ashton under Lyne. This Barracks was later re-named ‘Ladysmith Barracks’ to commemorate the actions of the Manchester Regiment during the Second Boer War, specifically the Seige of Ladysmith, Natal. There are a couple of probable on-line military records for Tom during the Boer War, and military service almost certainly underpins his arrival in South Africa. One of the military records indicates that he’s a trooper (regimental number ‘10’) in the newly formed Protectorate Regiment, but there’s no date. There might also be military records in the archives held at the Museum of the Manchesters in Ashton under Lyne, but it’s closed to the public until summer 2016 due to local demolition work. In the meantime, you might find these URLs helpful – www.tameside.gov.uk/archives/manchesterregiment/boerwarwww.angloboerwar.com/name-searchThere’s a Church of the Province of South Africa Parish Register record for the baptism of a son, Harry Reddyoff, at Cape of Good Hope on 8th February 1903. Tom is named as the father but the mother is Clara (Reddyoff), not Ellen Krakow although it’s quite possible that Tom married more than once. There’s no evidence that Tom ever returned to the UK after the formal cessation of hostilities in South Africa, and I could find no UK records at all for Eleanor. So, on the basis of evidence I did find, it seems far more likely that Eleanor was born elsewhere, most probably South Africa. I kept the various census records, etc. if you want any of them Cheers Woody
